We are all part of this city…men, women, young, old, black, white. You name it, we are here. Think of our community as a symphony. The music can be beautiful or it can be discordant; devoid of harmony and accord.
Think of ourselves as players of instruments as we hear the sounds in our minds which we wish to produce. The players of the instruments have to practice and learn the sounds that instrument can produce. Then you get together with other players (at this point they are musicians who know their instruments). These musicians are given a score to play. Each will play it his own way. Now we need a very skilled director who must bring them together to produce the very best musical arrangement. It takes patience and diligent work but the end result can be magnificent.
How does a city become a symphony. It starts with COMMUNITY RELATIONS. I attended their board meeting last night. Sadly not many were there.
There is no hope for Boynton Beach. I am so sorry I moved here. I had no idea what I was getting into. I look out the front of the house and I see forclosures. I look out in my back yard and see the Belmont who threw all the construction debri (pipes, rocks overrun with weeds) with a chain link fence which is 3 feet higher than my yard with exposed cement blocks holding up the fence. I look to the side and see a “alleged” hedge (oleander) which has been an ugly mess since 1995. Most of it is dead. The city said they were going to put in a decent hedge, but I’ll believe it when I see it. I know know what P.U.D. stands for: Planned Urban Dump!
